The revival of Motile & Contractile Systems: outstanding FASEB SRC on the Cytoskeleton in July (events.faseb.org/event/cytoskel…), featuring a lively poster session with Alyssa Coulter & Scott Forbes. Definitely worth another trip in '27!

Everyone in academia complains endlessly about the proliferation of administrators, but this expansion has relieved faculty of the burden of doing paperwork and sitting on committees and allows us to focus on teaching and research.

Congrats to Ryan Frier for making the journey from freshman Holster Scholar through the senior All-Biology Symposium. Just a few more awards ceremonies, a thesis, and a commencement away from continuing on to Yale Med.

Thank you to the 75 members who mobilized for #GSAHillDay! We met with the offices of 47 representatives and 33 senators, asking them to protect funding for aging research and programs. And you can be just as effective by using GSA’s Advocacy Toolkit: geron.org/Advocacy/How-t…
